So I needed a bit of a change so I gave the truck a little make over..

Raised it up another inch
22" mamba m1 wheels with 37" kumho road venture mt's
removed the trim & shaved all emblems except the duramax one
While I was at it I pulled the exhaust and painted it and then clean and painted the frame. Also painted all the shocks and went back with red boots to match the duramax emblem and the x on the 4x4 sticker.

I'm pretty satisfied with the way it turned out, tell me what u think!:D

Looks great!! The way the spokes go to the end of the wheels make them look bigger than they are!!!

Looks badass. I was thinking about either the Mamba M3 or the M1. Looks pretty good with the M1 on a white truck :thumb:

so you fit those 37's with a 6 inch fabtech lift? lmk the offset and width of the tire. got a front shot of the truck? i'm trying to get a idea on what offset to get when i do get some wheels. i dont want it to stick out the fenders much bc i live in ca and theres a law about sticking out too much.

I added another inch to the lift by removing my overload spring and putting in an add leaf. Then I crank the bars till the truck sat level with the back.

The wheels are 9.5 inchs wide with a +12 offset. I really wanted something negative but the +12 was all i could find in that style and size. Since it was a positive offset I spaced them out with half inch spacers.

Hope that helps some with your decision.

Thanks everyone for the comments :)
